Master Sivananda
\ Be good, do good.
\ An ounce of practice is worth a ton of theory.
Sri Swami Satchidananda
\ You are never alone. God is nearer than your own heart.
\ A mind free from all disturbance is Yoga.
\ Yoga believes in transforming the individual before transforming the world. Whatever change we want to happen outside should happen within. If you walk in peace and express that peace in your life, others will see you and learn something.
Sri Swami Paramahansa Yogananda
\ Peace - Change yourself and you have done your part in changing the world. Every individual must change his own life if he wants to live in a peaceful world. The world cannot become peaceful unless and until you yourself begin to work towards peace. It is only by removing hate from our hears that we can live a Christ-like life.
Sri Ramana Maharshi
\ The excellence of the practice (Sadhana) lies in not giving room for even a single mental concept (Vrtti).
\ If the moments that are wasted in thinking of the objects which are not the Self are spent on inquiry into the Self, Self realisation will be attained in a very short time.
Sri Ramakrishna
\ Many are the names of God and infinite forms through which He maybe approached. In whatever name and form you worship Him through that you will realise Him.
BHAGAVAD GITA
\ Chapter 2, Verse 66 - There is neither wisdom nor meditation in an always changing mind. Without a meditative, one-pointed mind there is no peace. And without peace of mind, how can anyone be happy?
\ Chapter 18, Verse 62 - With all your heart, take refuge in him. Then you will feel his grace and know profound peace, which is his abode, forever.
